HYDROGARBON-BURNER.

Application filed June 16, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY A. LAOERDA, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Schenectady, in the county of Schenectady and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Hydrocarbon-Burner, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved hydrocarbon burner for use in the fire boxes of boilers and other apparatus and arranged to effectively convert the liquid fuel into a combustible vapor passing into the burner under high pressure to insure the production of a high heat.

In order to produce the desired result use is made of a burner casing, a burner on the said casing, and a fuel supply pipe connected with the said burner casing and having a portion formed into a coil located above the said burner and in close proximity to the flame issuing from the burner.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in

which similar characters of reference indi cate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of the hydrocarbon burner, the section being on the line 2-2 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.

In the drawing the casing 4.0 of the hydro carbon burner is provided with a downwardly inclined extension 41 into which opens one end of the fuel supply pipe 42 having a portion thereof bent into a coil 43 extending above the top of the body of the casing 40 and above a burner 44 screwed or otherwise secured in the top of the said casing body. As shown, the burner 44 is in the form of a plug having an opening 45 terminating in a flaring mouth 46 to spread the flame upwardly and outwardly against the crown sheet of the boiler, it being understood that the coil 43 is in the path of the flame and thus the liquid fuel is quickly vaporized and passes in this condition-into the extension 41 from which the vapor passes into the casing 40 and to the burner 44.

Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. if, 1917.

Serial No. 103,972.

The bottom of the casing 40 is provided ing the drippings periodically. The supply pipe 42 has its incoming end supported on one side of the extension 41 of the casing so as to hold the coil 43 in the proper position.

From the foregoing it will be seen that the liquid fuel is highly heated and conse quently vaporized, and the vapors finally pass under high pressure into the burner casing and then into the burner to be burned.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Iatent:

1. A hydrocarbon burner, comprising an elongated burner casing having one end inclined downwardly and reduced, a burner in the top of the body of the said casing, and a fuel supply pipe formed into a coil concentric with and above the said burner, the end of the pipe being connected with the end of the inclined portion of the casing.

2. A hydrocarbon burner, comprising a burner casing having a downwardly inclined extension chamber, the bottom of the body of the said burner casing having a depression, av drain plug screwing in the said depression, a burner in the top of the body of the said casing, and a fuel supply pipe formed into a coil concentric with and above the said burner, the end of the pipe being connected with the said extension chan'iber.

8. A hydrocarbon burner, comprising an elongated burner casing having one end inclined downwardly and reduced, a burner in the top of the body of the said casing, and a fuel supply pipe supported on one side of the said burner casing and leading into the end of the said inclined portion thereof, a portion of the supply pipe being formed into a coil concentric with the said burner and located above the same.
